Description of Work The Recruitment Range for This Position is $35,984 – $46,301 The primary purpose of this position is to provide direct service coordination for children in the NC Infant-Toddler Program and to provide supports to their families/caregivers. Service coordination is a critical service that is helpful for families/caregivers and it is also required by the federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Services provided through the NC ITP must be compliant with the IDEA, federal regulations, and State policies and procedures. This position as an Early Intervention Service Coordinator for children, birth to three, is located at the Onslow County Office of the New Bern Children’s Developmental Services Agency (CDSA). The New Bern CDSA serves children and families that reside in Carteret, Craven, Jones, Lenoir, Onslow, and Pamlico Counties. Duties include traveling to and working with families and providers in this six-county catchment area to develop functional Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs), working with multi-disciplinary teams to determine families’ needs for supports and services, conduct home visits, coordinate and facilitate services and transition planning, and participate in the authorization and monitoring of early intervention services. The North Carolina Early Intervention Section (NCEI) is a part of the Division of Child and Family Well-being. It is the lead agency for the North Carolina Infant-Toddler Program (NCITP), which provides supports and services for families and their children, birth to three who have developmental delays and/or disabilities. Research shows that birth to three is a critical time frame for working with families to support their competence and confidence as their child’s best teacher because of what we know about brain development. This early learning offers a window of opportunity to make a positive difference in how a child develops and learns. The Children’s Developmental Services Agencies (CDSAs), the local lead agencies that implement the ITP across North Carolina, work with local service providers to help families help their children succeed.
